Public data are examined regarding policy & program implementation among US science & technology (S&T) agencies. Among state-level programs, several common aspects emerge: the goal of economic growth; reliance on research universities; technology transfer; & the existence of centers with specialization in knowledge application. S&T expenditures are analyzed & regional & local studies of S&T activities are discussed. The available data are criticized due to: overemphasis of aggregate, statewide statistics; the exclusion of universities & colleges from state rankings & program listings; & the failure to measure relationships between S&T programs, & industry, government, & academia. It is concluded that the success of S&T programs can best be measured at the institutional level. 1 Table, 29 References. S. G. Yates

Provides an account of the depth, magnitude, and structure of the U.S. government's role in the innovation economy. A cross-disciplinary group of authors collectively document, theorize, and evaluate the decentralized set of agencies, programs, and policies at the core of the collaborative linkages between public agencies and the private industries at the forefront of the U.S. economy. The authors address issues critical to the construction of newly responsible, forward-looking public policies: how can we forge an innovation policy that is at once flexible, effective and efficient, as well as transparent and accountable? They provide insights into "where innovations come from" and what government policies support a dynamic innovation economy. They show how government programs and policies have underpinned technological innovation in the U.S. economy over the last four decades, despite the strength of "free market" political rhetoric. They explore the strengths and weaknesses of different policies and strategies for strengthening the innovative dynamics that support economic growth and competitiveness, offering a vision for designing technology policies to fit a 21st century economy.

Using a historical sociology approach, this book illustrates the formation of the technological state in Indonesia during the New Order period (1966-1998). It explores the nexus between power, high technology, development, and authoritarianism situated in the Southeast Asian context. The book discusses how the New Order regime shifted from the developmental state to the technological state, which was characterized by desire for technological supremacy. The process resulted in the establishment of a host of technological institutions and the undertaking of large-scale high-tech programs. Sheddi.
